Everything we know so far about Dubai Metro's underground Blue Line

All the information on the proposed new Dubai Metro Line...

Looks like they plan to have the blue line extension ready to go in 2029 mentioned in the embedded video not the article.

The plan is to have 55% of the population within 800 meters of public transportation stations by 2040.

A little bit old, but I always like to watch the video linked below: Youtube - Dubai Progress by MetroCucumber

    It is interesting that they are going perpendicular from the coast instead of just parallel with these extensions. I felt like a lot of the current set-up to Dubai’s non-bus mass transit was to severe the luxury development.

      I have only recently gone to Dubai Creek and the traffic in and out of there was really bad. I think they are targeting the highest chance of ridership first. I think the people going towards Sharjah is probably going to be the most numerous.

      Personally I am more interested in the parallel line to Al Maktuom Airport, but I guess the ridership will be too little now.
